Recommended Drinks for Japanese

Sake

Sake is a Japanese fermented rice drink, usually served warm and frequently called ‘rice wine’. It is served in small china bottles or in small ‘cup’ style vessels in very small quantities! An acquired taste and quite pungent!

Recommended Drinks for Asian

Wan Fu

An inexpensive light white wine, similar to Sauvignon Blanc, served in Chinese and other South East Asian restaurants. Not very ‘grapey’, more ‘citrussy’ - refreshing to drink with a medium curry and often served as a spritzer with lots of ice.

Mango Lassi

Served in all Asian restaurants, it is probably their ‘signature smoothie’ type of drink. Fresh mangoes with yoghurt and light spices poured over ice – absolutely delicious and refreshing to the palate and takes away any heat from spicy food still burning your tongue!

Jasmine Tea

Famous Chinese tea brew, deeply aromatic and usually served at the end of a meal with great ceremony. Always served with a teapot and cup, often on a bamboo mat. The unique flavour and aroma is caused by the jasmine blossom fragrance being absorbed into the tea during growth. Subtlely sweet, is is renowned throughout the world.

Thai Papaya Smash

A wonderful cocktail mainly served in the medium to larger restaurants. Made with fresh papaya, orange and a shot of tequila and dash of freshly squeezed lime it has both a bitter and sweet taste. The addition of agave nectar brings more sweetness, but sometimes you have to ask for it.

Lemongrass Soda

Very refreshing drink made with lemon grass syrup and mixed with soda or sparkling water, garnished with lemon slices and served over ice. It is a speciality of Thai restaurants in most major cities in the UK. Sometimes garnished with Thai basil to give a more herby taste.

Popular Dishes for Japanese

Udon Noodles

Normally served with miso broth, this ‘soup’ style meal rates in the top 10 in the UK, served by many restaurants and pop-up street carts. Seaweed, dashi, miso and ginger are used to spice up the broth and vegetarians can be catered for with the use of tofu. Usually accompanied by stir-fry greens, mushrooms, spring onions, all served in one bowl! Filling and delicious!

Sushi

No. 1 Japanese food in the UK, sushi bars are everywhere, being used as meeting places as well as a quick lunch venue. Sushi is actually the ‘vinegared rice’ used to stuff the rolls and a variety of raw fish such as salmon, tuna and prawns are wrapped with nori seaweed. The rolls normally include avocado and cucumber and served with spicy wasabi and soy dips to give them a kick! Diners usually sit around the sushi bar as the dishes go around on a belt for them to choose from.

Popular Dishes for Asian

Spicy Papaya Salad

Known as ‘Som Tam’ this dish originates in the North East of Thailand but its popularity has spread all over the world. Served in both restaurants and from street carts in the UK, it is a sweet, sour and spicy with firm green papaya shredded and combined with chicken and sticky rice. The heat can vary in this dish, so do ask the level of spicing.

Onion Bhaji

One of the most popular starter or side dishes in Indian restaurants in the UK. Shredded onion is mixed with herbs, spices and flour then deep fried in either flat rosti style cakes, or round balls. Usually served with shredded lettuce, onion, cucumber and tomato and a tray of dips, including cucumber raita, mango and red hot lime pickle.

Prawn Puri

This is a curry house classic where small prawns are cooked with a relatively hot sauce including chillis, ginger, curry paste, onions and to lighten it, a little cream. The ‘Puri’ is the chapatti style flat bread, and the dish is served with the prawn mix on top of the bread.

Satays

Satays are found in every restaurant in the UK from Asian influences. An assorted platter of chicken, pork and beef satays along with prawn skewers are often served as a starter, or as part of an even bigger platter of mixed starters, situated in the centre of the table for everyone to share. The satays will have a variety of spices and flavours in which they are marinated, and are served with a peanut sauce.

Asian Ribs

Often party of a large platter of mixed starters, Asian Ribs are served two ways. Pork ribs are coated in a seasoned salt, or in a rub of honey, garlic and soy, very much like a barbecue sauce. Also called spare ribs in the UK, they are a very popular starter dish.
